I know there are a few Disney fans on here so I was interested to see if anyone else would be picking this up?

I've got mine pre-ordered for tomorrow though I know it's already out in the states. I know the whole "you need to buy figures to play" model isn't very popular, but I love toys and video games (and you don't need to buy every one) so this is just up my street! Especially when this character comes along in October...

Don't currently have plans to pick it up, but I'm totally into the style and concept. I see nothing wrong with having to buy the figures to add to the game. I'd want to buy the figures anyway, just because I collect such "toys." Especially that Skellington! He comes out in October? Well of course he does! Perfect.

I like the stylized look of the characters in the game. I like how they sorta tweaked the appearance of a lot of the classic characters to make it look like they could all belong to the same world (not to mention, work well as small figurines).

The Incredibles and Monsters Inc are possibly my favorite Pixar movies, and obviously I'm savvy with Sparrow and Pirates of the Caribbean. So those are all perfect characters that come with the starter pack.

So I'm won over on the visuals. What's the gameplay supposed to be like?

Honestly, I've heard about it and was slightly interested because it was Disney but never really did much research about it. I am however even more intrigued now because of Jack lol what exactly is the concept of the game? You have to let us know how it is when you get it!

I love the look of the figures, the almost blocky, malformed shape of them Supposedly Jack Skellington is due out at the start of October but rumour there's a Pumpkin King variant due out on Halloween itself... I'd obviously be very happy about that!!

Gameplay is split into 2 sections:

Play Sets are kind of like story mode, for example you can play as Jack Sparrow playing through a Pirates story, though you couldn't bring Mr Incredible into this world. The only way to play 2 player in the Play Sets are by having 2 characters from the same world (such as Mike and Sulley from Monsters U).

Toy Box mode is when you can bring any characters you want together to play in an open world that can be built and added to any way the player wants! There's even a race course builder - I can see me trying to make a Wreck-It Ralph 'Sugar Crush' inspired course!

I've traded in a bunch of un-played stuff so I'm thinking of picking up the Starter Set (obviously!), the Villains set (Randy from Monsters U, Davey Jones from Pirates, and Syndrome from The Incredibles), and maybe the Lone Ranger play set. That includes the Lone Ranger, Tonto, and their play set (story mode). How can I say no to these guys?!

Haha it's quite alright! I actually just talked to my boyfriend about it because neither of us had looked into it and we're huge Disney fans. He's actually excited about it now. One of the few games we would own to play together. Because normally it's just things like Mario or Kirby. He likes first-shooter and I don't. So this would be perfect for us! Thanks for bringing it up!!!!!

Glad I could help The couple that game (and carve) together, stay together

My only issue with the whole thing is the price, but after the initial splurge, I'll only be saving for characters I really want. I've read a lot online of "but how can they expect you to afford every figure?" Surely even Disney don't expect people to buy every figure?! There will be real Disney collectors that will go for every figure of course, even the "crystal" exclusives at Toys R Us (for "crystal" read "clear plastic"!).

Well, to be completely honest, we would probably be the ones to get all the characters. Because I have this issue where if I start collecting something, it must be complete haha I just have one question, I've noticed that there is a starter pack and a toy box challenge pack available here. Is it the same there? And do you know what the difference is?

I thought they sounded the same too lol because the starter pack here lists all the same stuff. The only difference is that there is a starter pack listed for each different console and only one listed for the toy box challenge that doesn't specify the console.

So what console are you getting it for? I'm getting mine for my Wii U. I already have 2 controllers for that, I couldn't really afford a second PS3 controller along with everything else - those things cost a fortune!

Will you just be getting a starter pack or will you get any extras to go with it?
